We present Very Large Array observations of twelve late M and L dwarfs in the Solar neighborhood. The observed sources were chosen to cover a wide range of physical characteristics — spectral type, rotation, age, binarity, and X-ray and Hα activity — to determine the role of these properties in the production of radio emission, and hence magnetic fields. Three of the twelve sources, TVLM 513-46...

One of the most common causes of mortality in acute kidney injury is brain dysfunction. Here we investigated the possible protective effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on cognitive impairments induced by bilateral renal ischemia (BRI). Eighty male Wistar rats were allocated into 8 groups: 1, 2) Sham+V (Vehicle), 3, 4) Sham+EPO, 5, 6) BRI+V, 7, 8) BRI+EPO. The groups followed by the reperfusion per...

Bonn Risk Index (BRI) is being used for the assessment of urinary calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystallization. There are no published data regarding BRI during growth. The objective of this study was to establish ageand sex-dependent BRI values in healthy children and adolescents. A total of 1,050 Caucasian subjects aged 3– 18 years (525 males, 525 females) without a history of kidney stone disease ...

We present Very Large Array observations of twelve bona-fide and candidate brown dwarfs in the Solar neighborhood. The observed sources were chosen to cover a wide range of physical characteristics — spectral type, rotation, age, binarity, and X-ray and Hα activity — to determine the role of these properties in the production of radio activity, and hence magnetic fields. Three of the twelve sou...

PURPOSE To determine whether long-term brimonidine (BRI) treatment prevents the hyperglycemia-induced increase in vitreoretinal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier (BRB) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. METHODS Brown Norway/Long-Evans rats were divided into three groups with similar distributions of blood glucose and bo...

Using the 12-m APEX telescope, we have detected redshifted emission from the 157.74 μm [CII] line in the z = 4.4074 quasar BRI 1335-0417. The linewidth and redshift are in good agreement with previous observations of high-J CO line emission. We measure a [CII] line luminosity, L[CII] = (16.4 ± 2.6) × 109 L , making BRI 1335-0417 the most luminous, unlensed [CII] line emitter known at high-redsh...
